Overview
The BLACK+DECKER BDXV18101P-1H is a standout on two metrics: price and weight. At $34.39 it is the most affordable wet-dry vacuum reviewed here by a significant margin, and at 5.5 pounds it is also the lightest corded option in the batch. Its compact 10-by-9.8-by-11.9-inch footprint makes it storable in tight spaces where full-size shop vacs do not fit.
The 600-watt, 5-amp motor is modest by shop standards, landing below the 960-watt DEWALT models and well below the Vacmaster VDK811PW 0201's 1,380 watts. For the light-duty applications this unit is priced and sized for, such as car interiors, small workspaces, bathroom floor spills, and workshop dust, the 600-watt output is appropriate. For anything heavier, the motor ceiling will be evident.
One important data point: the review count is listed at zero, meaning no verified owner feedback exists in the published record. However, 800 units were bought last month, the second-highest demand figure in this entire review batch. That signals strong buyer interest in the value proposition, but buyers should weigh the absence of any owner validation before committing.
Pros
- Cheapest unit in the category at $34.39, well below every corded competitor
- Lightest corded option at 5.5 pounds, easy to carry, store, and maneuver
- Compact 10 by 9.8 by 11.9 inch dimensions fit under counters and in tight storage spots
- 800 units bought last month is the second-highest demand figure in this batch
- Corded 120V at 5 amps provides basic but unlimited-runtime suction
Cons
- Zero published reviews means no owner validation exists yet despite high sales volume
- 600-watt motor is the lowest corded wattage in this review, limiting heavy-duty performance
- No rating data from reviews to benchmark buyer satisfaction independently

Performance notes
Power source is corded electric at 120 volts. Motor draws 5 amps and produces 600 watts. Item weight is 5.5 pounds. Dimensions are 10 inches long by 9.8 inches wide by 11.9 inches high. Runtime is unlimited when plugged in. The 600-watt output is suitable for light dust, small spills, and confined-space cleanup. Heavy continuous debris loads will likely strain the motor relative to higher-wattage alternatives.
What buyers say
No published reviews exist for the BLACK+DECKER BDXV18101P-1H at the time of this review. The 800 units bought last month indicates strong buyer interest, likely driven by the entry price and brand recognition. Without a review base, buyer sentiment cannot be characterized from owner feedback; the purchase volume alone suggests the value positioning resonates.

Frequently asked questions
Why does the BLACK+DECKER BDXV18101P-1H have no reviews despite selling 800 units last month?
The zero-review count suggests this is a recently listed or relaunched product. High purchase volume without reviews is common for new entries on Amazon. As owner feedback accumulates, the star rating will provide additional guidance.
Is 600 watts enough for workshop use?
For fine dust, light dry debris, and occasional small wet spills, 600 watts can perform adequately. For heavy sawdust volumes, large wet spills, or continuous shop-floor cleanup, the Vacmaster VDK811PW 0201 at 1,380 watts and $88.34 is a better fit.
